While I don't know the equivalent in svn, there might be something like 'git shortlog'. >>>Does such a centralized file exist? >> It might, but why? >Well, most GNU projects have a detailed `NEWS' file or something >similar. Which is made mostly (if not completely) redundant with the VCS keeping logs. Also, changes to such a file are more difficult to merge between diverging branches; specifically because most changes are done at the top by inserting some new lines. I encourage the presence of such a file in the release tarballs, but it should be generated from the VCS logs at release time. There's no reason to maintain that information in two locations. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
